Taming Wild Robins.

Posted by Alex in Animal, Pictures on July 1, 2007 at 12:18 pm


That’s bird lover and wildlife photographer Dennis Bright, who gained fame by being able to tame wild robins:

He said: "Taming a Robin is actually quite simple – anyone can do it. The secret is that they will sell their soul for a mealworm!

"And talking to them really helps too – I use simple, common phrases like, ‘come on cheeky’. This particular Robin has been in my garden for four years. He comes into my house during the day and never flies away when I feed him.

    I'm sorry, isn't that a bluebird? Robins are usually brown with more of a red breast rather than head and neck...

    It's not a robin, that's for sure.

    Er, that IS a robin. A European Robin to be exact. What veta is describing is an American Robin. Dennis Bright (not to mention the URL) is English after all. :P

    It's not a North American robin, that's why he looks different. He's a European Robin, they look very different from ours. Look it up on Wikipedia or google.

    "What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen robin?"
    "Which do you mean? An American or European robin?"
